Dark and spooky generative ambient patch this week. It's less musical than my usual stuff and I'm not super satisfied with it, but I know what I'm gonna do if I revisit it.
Short post this week, things are winding down and settling and I'm hoping to get back into the full spectacle of music production next week.

Dang, this is straight up cinematic. It gives me such a “post apocalyptic city scape of giant moving metal structures “ vibe and then you have in those sounds that make it feel like there’s giant insect people scuttling about in the shadows. Epic.
Dark and brooding cinematic goodness throughout! Especially enjoy the chittering insect like sounds that trickle in and out. It feels like something dark is being whipped up, dialed in or summoned from the underworld 
Excellent work!
I like the sound design in this! If you don't mind me saying, I'm less convinced by the 'storytelling' of this piece. To put it bluntly, there is a lot of cool sounds. But I feel there is no clear direction. I would describe it as amorphous blob of awesome sounds. I think that adding a bit more shape, a bit more purpose to each sound that would really take it to the next level. And I'm not suggesting pouring it into a basic pop song formula, not at all. Just a bit more deliberate choice, rather than happenstance. Anyway, that's of course all in my opinion. So feel free totally ignore it. I just thought I'd mention it.
fits your description perfectly. sounds like a scary and icky place to be and its a heck of good job on the atmosphere and sound design.
It may not be super structured but you've definitely dropped us right into a scene. Somewhere ominous with giant insects skittering around. Not somewhere I'd like to be in real life, but it's cool to visit for a few minutes sonically.
Spooky is indeed the first word that popped in my mind when I heard the track! Very cool track!
Awesome scene setting. Love the overall texture and understand what you’re saying about not being *totally* satisfied with it. Just a little bit of structure will make it.

Thank you! I really think the sound design portion of this track has got some bones.
Amazing dark atmospheric track!
Thank you! 
Super awesome spooky textures! This is great, as always
Thank you!

It's the creepy chittering that gives the track its flavor. I think the background drone is appropriate but needs to be slowed down. Thank you!

I definitely agree, it lacks a progression and intent. The different elements while sonically similar have different paces and intentions. I'll definitely revist it with a little more of a unified vision in mind. Thanks!

Yeah, I definitely plan to revisit the textures with a more clear intent in mind. Thank you!
Dark! Loving the insectoid tag.
It seemed appropriate
I can hear the wet slopping and bone cracking.

Sometimes the elements are there but require a little more time to play nice.
